Kuwait Konknni Kendr successfully organized one of the best Konkani Shows ever staged in Kuwait on 11th of this month at Hotel Fakher Al-Deen Hotel, Kuwait City starting at 4.30 p.m. The show was well attended by the attendees who enjoyed it in its totality. Never ever before such a show was staged in Kuwait as per overwhelming majority of the audience, so much so even after the final curtain was down the audience still remained seated as if they are magnetized to their chairs as final item the operatta was most exiting. No doubt every item was perfomed well yet the main story " Dev Pavta" by Rosary Ferns was excellent based on two maids while the Operatta and Mando/Dulpod also by Rosary Ferns were excellent. The Mando/Dulpod which was original composed by Rosary Ferns not only sung well but also presented beautifully with rich traditional costumes.

The others who sang this mando were Mario Rebello, Goretti, Conchita, Sandra, Bernard and Marcus Vaz. Operatta was prepared on the olden but golden songs of yesteryears artistes. The first song itself of legendary Minguel Rod “Bhoinni Zobor Maka Bhogta Dukh – Vhadon Veta mhonnon dothiche rukh” caught the attention of the audience and it was ended with a Mando “Janerak Kazar Mhonn Sangtaloi”. By selecting best of the oldies Rosary created a very good story in which Querobina again played a major and very attractive role. Some of the others who were admired by the audience were Marcos Vaz, Jane, Manuel de Santacruz, Domnick Araujo and both the visiting artistes C. D’Silva and Ben Evangelisto as “Garamae”. In the main play “Dev Pavta” renowned artiste Donald did his role well so too the center of the attraction of the show Querobina.
